HIMatrix F3 DIO 16/8 01 Functional Description

The HIMA HIMatrix F3 DIO 16/8 01 Safety-Related Controller is a safety remote I/O module designed to extend the I/O capacity of HIMA safety controllers. This compact metal-housed module, the module, features 16 digital inputs and 8 two-pole digital outputs with 2 additional pulsed outputs, providing comprehensive interface capabilities for safety applications. The unique two-pole output design incorporates two series-connected switches, with one switching to L+ and the other to L-, creating enhanced safety through redundant switching paths.

A significant advantage of the PLC Module HIMA HIMatrix F3 DIO 16/8 01 is its TÜV certification for safety applications up to SIL 3 according to IEC 61508 standards and even SIL 4 for railway applications per EN 50126/8/9 series. The HIMA HIMatrix F3 DIO 16/8 01 connects to HIMax or HIMatrix controllers via safeethernet communication, enabling distributed I/O architecture while maintaining safety integrity. This remote I/O module is approved for installation in Ex-zone 2 hazardous areas, expanding its applicability to environments with potentially explosive atmospheres.

The HIMatrix HIMA F3 DIO 16/8 01 SAFETY REMOTE I/O MODULE incorporates an internal short-circuit-proof 24V power source that supplies groups of four potential-free mechanical contacts each, eliminating the need for external power supplies for connected devices. Available in multiple variants supporting both SILworX and ELOP II Factory engineering tools, the HIMA HIMatrix F3 DIO 16/8 01 offers flexibility for various project requirements. Each digital input features an individual LED status indicator, providing clear visual feedback for maintenance and troubleshooting operations.

In system implementation, the SAFETY REMOTE I/O MODULE HIMA HIMatrix F3 DIO 16/8 01 serves as a critical component for creating distributed safety systems where I/O points are located away from the central controller. The combination of high safety certification, robust construction, and flexible configuration options makes the HIMA 16 digital Inputs HIMatrix F3 DIO 16/8 01 particularly valuable for safety instrumented systems in process industries, manufacturing, and railway applications where reliable signal acquisition and output control are essential for personnel and asset protection.
